A woman living on the border invokes the voice of the Rio Grande, guiding her through the history of migration. Ultimately exposing the destruction caused when the river became a socio-political weapon.

Echoes of the Rio

The origin place of all Cherokee, the Kituwah mound, was thought lost for centuries until the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians finally took their "land back."

Mothertown

A Native American community located in Louisiana’s bayou country fights to preserve an eroding shoreline that threatens to wash away their culture and way of life. Decades of systemic injustices from both the state and federal government have already taken their toll, but have been exacerbated by the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida. Now, the fate of the Point-Au-Chien Indian Tribe is left in the balance. The land of Point-Au-Chien is tied to the tribe’s identity, and that part of their identity is literally washing away. Climate change is here, and the towns and cities impacted by it will only grow larger. This film offers viewers the stark reality of what the frontlines of climate change look like. What happens to Pointe-au-Chien will happen to communities around the world; and this film demonstrates that it’s in all our best interests to make sure the tribe succeeds.
